Sammy Hagar has announced eight tour dates for June, with Rick Springfield joining him for six of those shows. The former Van Halen frontman, now 78, kicks off the tour on June 13 at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater in St. Louis. The tour wraps up with two nights at MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland, on June 26 and 27, but Springfield will not be performing at those Maryland shows.
Hagar shared, “We’re celebrating the legacy of the music and bringing it to a whole new generation of fans.” The band features Michael Anthony on bass, Joe Satriani on guitar, and Kenny Aronoff on drums, with keyboardist Greg Phillinganes joining for all performances. Fans can expect a mix of songs from Hagar’s career, including hits from his time with Van Halen, his solo work, Montrose, and Chickenfoot.
During the shows, Anthony will take over lead vocals for the song “I’ve Done Everything for You,” which Springfield turned into a Top 10 hit in 1981. Hagar and Springfield have a long history, having collaborated in the past and both owning Beach Bar Rum.
These June concerts will take place between Hagar’s Vegas residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM, where he has six shows in March and five more in September. He also has a UK tour scheduled from July 4 to 9, followed by a performance at Full Throttle Saloon in Sturgis, South Dakota, on August 8. Hagar hinted at a possible future collaboration with David Lee Roth as well.
